Bath Fitter would like to say Happy New Year and extend its warmest wishes to everyone for 2009! And a huge thank you, as well, to the thousands of customers who enjoyed our bath remodelling services in 2008. We are looking forward to bringing our bathroom solutions to plenty more homes in the next twelve months.
This is a landmark year for Bath Fitter. Twenty-five years ago, the idea for Bath Fitter came to the Cotton brothers from Montreal, Canada, out of personal experience. Sensing a need for a more sane approach to bathroom renovation, Bath Fitter was established in 1984. The company initially focused on building its reputation in high-end hotels by offering quick and professional bathroom remodelling with custom-molded products that fit right over existing fixtures – done in a matter of hours. This was a big plus for hotel owners who can’t afford to have rooms out of service for days at a time.
But the Cotton brothers knew their idea could go much further than hotels. Traditional bathroom renovations in homes can also be messy, costly, and time-consuming. What was a homeowner supposed to do if a bathroom becomes a construction zone for a week, or two weeks, or more? Not to mention the associated noise, chaos, and high cost. The Cotton brothers quickly learned that residential customers were just as eager to benefit from Bath Fitter’s custom-formed acrylic tub liners, shower bases, and wall-systems. The company grew very quickly, adding franchises coast to coast, starting in the late eighties and continuing right to the current day.
What are we looking forward to in 2009? While responses from our professionals may vary, typically, nothing makes our people happier than the look of pleasure and amazement on a customer’s face when they first see the finished product: a beautiful new bathroom, finished before the day is done.
